Health care districts: design-build process.
- Authorizes all health care districts to use design-build contracts for hospital construction projects.
- Requires hospital construction projects to meet state seismic safety standards.
- Expands procurement options while maintaining existing safety and oversight requirements.
- Mandates board approval before districts can utilize the design-build process.
Assemblymember Heath Flora's legislation extends design-build contracting authority to all California health care districts for hospital and health facility construction projects, expanding beyond the current limited authorization granted to only three specific districts.
The measure allows health care district boards to utilize design-build procurement procedures outlined in the Public Contract Code when contracting for hospital construction or related facility improvements. Projects must comply with the Alfred E. Alquist Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act requirements for review and inspection. The bill defines health care districts that own or operate hospitals or clinics as "local agencies" for the purposes of implementing these procurement procedures.
Under the expanded authorization, design-build entities submitting project information must verify details under penalty of perjury, consistent with existing requirements. The legislation maintains all other applicable laws while broadening participation in design-build contracting beyond the Sonoma Valley, Last Frontier, and Mayers Memorial Hospital Districts currently authorized to use this procurement method.
